		<description><![CDATA[There are a lot of differences between Iraq and Vietnam but it&#8217;s probably worth looking back on Vietnam as we consider what course to take in Iraq.
Should we &#8220;cut and run&#8221; or should we keep sending soldiers and marines over there to secure &#8220;peace with honor.&#8221;
When our political and military leadership have no clear plan [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I got this from page A13 of today&#8217;s New York Times (January 12, 2007).
In February 2003, prior to the US invasion of Iraq, General Shinseki (the then US Army Chief of Staff) said the following in testimony before Congress:
&#8220;Something on the order of several hundred thousand soldiers are probably, you know, a figure that would [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our dear leader, George W. Bush, is out there calling up the glorious memories of World War II and urging us to &#8220;stay the course&#8221; in Iraq (which he continues to associate with 9/11 and the war on terrorism; go figure).
I would suggest that reminding us of World War II was a bit risky. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In January 2005, a Los Angeles class nuclear attack submarine hit an undersea mountain south of Guam. One sailor was killed; others were injured; and it is expected that repairing the submarine will cost around $100 million.
The submarine commander&#8217;s career for all intents and purposes ended at the same instant as the collision. It did [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have heard a number of people (both in person and in TV &#8220;man-in-the-street&#8221; interviews) equate their being a veteran with their support for G.W. Bush. Since two of G.W.&#8217;s main opponents (John Kerry and John McCain)  have been not only veterans but combat veterans, I find this very interesting.
G.W., after all, spent his [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another speech by Smedley Butler, USMC speaking about profiteering during World War I. It makes interesting reading in the age of Iraq and Halliburton; not to mention Katrina and the 10,000 FEMA trailers and the truckloads of emergency ice cubes being driven all over the country until they melted.
